..Interestingly, these MAP2C species were enriched in cytoskeleton-unbound protein preparations. These data suggests that GSK3-mediated phosphorylation of MAP2 may modify its binding to microtubules and regulate microtubule stability...

..An immunization experiment with four more horses confirmed these results. The vaccine described here would not only prevent the disease, but would drastically reduce the propagation of the virus by vectors...

..Altogether, these findings reveal the pivotal importance of GPR55 in skin tumor development, and suggest that this receptor may be used as a new biomarker and therapeutic target in squamous cell carcinomas...

Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation in the proline-rich C-terminal domain of microtubule-associated protein 2

..Ceramide in turn mediates cannabinoid-induced apoptosis, as shown by in vitro and in vivo studies. These findings provide a new perspective on how cannabinoids act, and raise exciting physiological and therapeutic questions...

..Anandamide has also been shown to exert metabolic effects in hepatocytes, cells that do not express cannabinoid receptors. The biological role of cannabinoids as modulators of metabolism is as yet unclear...

Comparison between Haemophilus parasuis infection in colostrums-deprived and sow-reared piglets

..parasuis were detected. The experimental infection using CD pigs describes a successful method to study this microorganism and confirms the important role that maternal antibodies play in protection against clinical signs and disease...
